Big question: why an abridged version only and why a change of reader?

I am a big fan of the adventures of Agent Penderghast and have enjoyed the previous audio versions, all unabridged and read by the same narrator. Until now. why?

I'm not sure if the story was just ordinary or if it was let down by the fact it is an abridged version with loads of detail missing. I'm not sure if this was the reason it took longer to listen to than it did the others even though they are 10 hours longer. Was it because it seemed rushed? Was it because the reader was, well, boring?

Also, having the great John Lee introduce the book, only illustrated what we were missing.

I had to listen to this to continue the series but it was a chore, an anomaly in the series which usually is excellent entertainment. Hopefully the rest with revert back to the way it started.

This story evenin better second time around - these books are surely going to be enduring classics in their genre ( what IS their genre? Pendergast seem to tick so many boxes, to satisfy on so many different levels.....)

Whatever, wherever, these are stories to revisit - surely the mark of works destined to be classics.
